          Although Molecular Dynamics (MD) is a very useful tool for studies in the biomolecular area, the need for knowledge in some degree of programming language leads to difficulties in accessing MD simulations. To facilitate the data analysis process, the Geo-Measures plugin was developed by the LaSOM's Molecular Modeling group in partnership with researchers in Biotechnology at the Universidade do Vale do Taquari (Univates) and in Biosciences at the Universidade Federal de Ciências da Saúde de Porto Alegre (UFCSPA), allowing access to Python packages with a focus on MD trajectory analysis. The plugin is easy to install and use; you can download it by clicking here.
